Each correctly sorted card is worth 3 points (the money card on each rack is worth 5). Top scorers in the two qualifying rounds will advance to the finals. Come by the Wellness Center to sign-up for your time slot starting Monday, March 18.
Tuesday, First Round: Sort by Fat content and top 5 advance to next round
Wednesday, Round Two: Sort by Sugar content and top 3 advance to next round
Thursday, FINALS: Sort by Sodium content

Tread Camp

Good News
Congratulations to grade 9 student Fan Liu, who earned the Second Place Award at the Massachusetts Regional Science fair held Sunday, March 10. She also won the top Microbiology prize. Fan will now compete at the State Science Fair at MIT this May.
An enthusiastic group of incoming grade 9 students came to Fontbonne early Saturday morning, March 16, to take their placement tests for course selection for next year. An equally enthusiastic group of current students volunteered to assist that morning. Members of the French Honor Society were also on hand with refreshments. Thank you one and all for welcoming our newly registered Class of 2017.
The spring musical, "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," closed this Saturday to a full house. The lively show brought everyone to their feet for a standing ovation to recognize the efforts of the Good Fountain Players, cast and crew. Congratulations and thank you to Director, Mr. Emma; Musical Director, Mrs. Fortier; and accompanist, Mr. Anderson. We hope you had a chance to see the terrific singing and dancing.
